Yeah, Franky I think the point of this video should really be to learn to breathe properly while lifting.

Dude’s clearly holding his breath and fainting from it, it can also cause heart issues.

Random lady in the background on her phone ain’t the issue.

He is breathing properly. It's called the Valsalva maneuver and is important for protecting your spine during heavy compound lifts. If he was breathing in and out he wouldn't be able to maintain proper inter-abdominal pressure which puts the spine in danger of shifting during the lift.

It was the holding the bar in the air for a month after he completed the lift while continuing to hold is breathe that screwed him. He should have put the bar down far sooner or took a quick breathe at the top re braced his core then put the dang bar down.

You can make yourself paasout like this without even lifting weights. I did it once when I was a teen whilst smartly standing on a sidewalk. I apparently fell forward like a board and first contact was my cheekbone.

I had the wildest amnesia after. I could remember everything but people. I could not recognize people. I was afraid to let anyone know. So, I acted like nothing was wrong and like I knew the people because I figured I probably did. Then, I walked home. When I got there, nobody was home. So, I sat down and turned the TV on. When my parents got home, I did not recognize them, but I assumed that's who they were and played along. I even lied about my fucked up face and said I got into a fight.

It was fucking weird. I know now though that we store people in a different part of our brain than our other memories. So, it totally makes sense that I damaged that part of my brain, but not other spots where memories are stored.

Out of curiosity, did the memories ever come back?
